Decoding group activities in interactive teaching (paper)

Abstract

We report on the analysis of a decoding interview which aims at identifying students’ bottlenecks related to group activities. The interview allows making transparent the subtle sequence of individual and collaborative parts in such activities and to describe the mental operations that students have to perform in order to get started with problem solving in group tasks. We also report on metaphors which the interviewed instructor created in order to illustrate what he himself would and would not be doing in group work. These metaphors when communicated to students have the potential to support them in passing their difficulties related to group activities.
